The Lyrics
Recently, I transfered to the bakery department due to high demand from the managers to get me there. But, before that I was the best front-service clerk (bagger) in our store, and the customer favorite (sorry, I have to brag a little). This song is for all of the Publix Supermarket front-service clerks out there.
Post your resume---Publix will hire you in a while;
They'll train you how to work and dress to match the Publix style;
There's a thousand customers to bag for-but you still must smile;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
Glory, Glory---to the Baggers
Worry, Worry---'bout the Managers
Glory, Glory---to the Baggers
The rush keeps going on.
When you get to work it's very busy all the time;
There are 20 impatient customers waiting in the check-out line;
But just keep yourself a-baggin' and we're sure you'll do just fine;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
When you're finally getting tire and you wish your shift was through;
Just think about how much you love this glory work you do;
All you really need is just a positive point-of-view;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
The managers will say you have a closing job tonight;
And you'll sweep, and mop, and clean 'till there's no dirty thing in sight;
But there's still so much to do you'll be here cleaning 'till morning light;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
If you're honored and you stay here working after 10;
You will get to level all the shelves until the stock comes in;
And then you'll have to "walk the store" and do it all again;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
They'll train you how to work and dress to match the Publix style;
There's a thousand customers to bag for-but you still must smile;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
Glory, Glory---to the Baggers
Worry, Worry---'bout the Managers
Glory, Glory---to the Baggers
The rush keeps going on.
When you get to work it's very busy all the time;
There are 20 impatient customers waiting in the check-out line;
But just keep yourself a-baggin' and we're sure you'll do just fine;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
When you're finally getting tire and you wish your shift was through;
Just think about how much you love this glory work you do;
All you really need is just a positive point-of-view;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
The managers will say you have a closing job tonight;
And you'll sweep, and mop, and clean 'till there's no dirty thing in sight;
But there's still so much to do you'll be here cleaning 'till morning light;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
If you're honored and you stay here working after 10;
You will get to level all the shelves until the stock comes in;
And then you'll have to "walk the store" and do it all again;
The rush keeps going on.
(Chorus)
"Publix, where shopping is a pleasure." --- Publix Supermarkets.
